File: B-265851; B-265851.2 Date: December 29, 1995 Robert M. Cambridge, Esq., for the protester. Cynthia S. Guill, Esq., Diane D. Hayden, Esq., and Patrick J. Coll, Esq., Department of the Navy, for the agency. Scott H. Riback, Esq., and David A. Ashen, Esq., Office of the General Counsel, GAO, participated in the preparation of the decision. DIGEST Protest against agency's refusal to permit upward correction of firm's bid is denied where bidder's worksheets show that a mistake was made but do not establish the firm's intended bid for the allegedly omitted cost element. DECISION Eastco Building Services, Inc. protests the Department of the Navy's refusal to allow the firm to correct a mistake in its bid submitted in response to invitation for bids (IFB) No. N00187-94-B-8127, for the repair and maintenance of air conditioning equipment at various locations around Norfolk, Virginia. Eastco challenges the Navy's determination that the firm failed to establish its intended bid. We deny the protest. The IFB contained a total of 47 line items. For line item Nos. 0001 and 0002, which are the subject of Eastco's protest, bidders were required to submit prices for the performance of service calls that would require no more than 16 hours of labor and $250 in material costs; bidders were to submit lump-sum unit and extended prices for an estimated quantity of 200 service calls performed during regular business hours (item 0001) and separate lump-sum unit and extended prices for an estimated quantity of emergency service calls performed after regular business hours (item 0002). All but one of the remaining line items called for the performance of periodic tasks, such as monthly inspections or winter overhauls of particular equipment; bidders were required to submit lump-sum unit and extended prices for each of these other line items which included the cost of materials associated with performance of the required task. The remaining line item, No. 0024, was divided into 15 subline items which called for bidders to submit loaded hourly rates for various categories of labor; material costs associated with these services were not 75412
